I'm always standing on the edge of something bad.
David Levithan
I am learning that a life isn't real unless someone else knows its reality. And I want my life to be real.
David Levithan
I am proud that I defy your categories. I am proud that I don't fit easily into any box. I am proud of all the things I am and all the things i can be. Question yourself every time you think you only see one thing in me.

David Levithan
Please may this not be a game. Please may this not be a game. Because if it’s a game, I know I’m going to lose.
David Levithan
Ignorance is not bliss. Bliss is knowing the full meaning of what you have been given.
David Levithan
The boy I loved didn't know I existed. Then again, he was obsessed with Camus, so he didn't know if any of us existed.
David Levithan
I don’t want you to think I got through this undamaged, okay? But I’m learning to live with it. Because otherwise, the damage is all you are.

If goodness can't come from bad things, it makes bad things unbearable.
David Levithan
There is no such thing as equality for some. Equality must be for all. That is what freedom is. That is what liberty is. No human being is born more or less important than any other. How can we allow ourselves to forget that? What simpler truth is there?
David Levithan
Why do we feel the need to disconnect in order to connect?
David Levithan
I want you to spend the night, you said. And it was definitely your phrasing that ensured it. If you had said, Let's have sex, or Let's go to my place, or even I really want you, I'm not sure we would have gone quite as far as we did.
